■The key visual for the special drama has been released!
The key visual for the special drama has been released. Obana, dressed in formal attire and Samue from Mayeur Kyoto, has a visual that looks in a different direction from her colleagues from Grand Maison Tokyo, with whom she once aimed for three stars. What kind of future does Obana have in mind…?
■Masataka Kubota plays Natsuki Obana’s “buddy” presence!
Masataka Kubota plays Toshihisa Yuasa, a chef at the French restaurant Mayeur Kyoto, where Natsuki Obana (Takuya Kimura) and Rinko Hayami (Kyoka Suzuki), who were supposed to have gone to Paris but lost touch, reunite. Sa Riku). In fact, Yuasa, who worked with Obana and others during the Escoffuille era in Paris, asked Obana to help him set up “Mayeur Kyoto” in order to create Asia’s No. 1 French restaurant. When Yuasa visited “Grand Maison Tokyo”, he showed his combative side, forcing Shohei Hirako (Yuta Tamamori/Kis-My-Ft2), his junior from Escoffuille, to compete to see who could make the most delicious spiny lobster dish. too. Pay attention to the dynamic cooking battle between the two, and the “buddy feeling” with Obana, who competes equally in cooking.
■Kazuki Kitamura becomes the ultra-efficient president who forms a capital alliance with “Grand Maison Tokyo”!
Kazuki Kitamura plays Sosuke Akashi, the representative director of NEX Management, which is affiliated with a major company that has a capital alliance with Grand Maison Tokyo. She is an astute president who saw a business opportunity in Rinko Hayami, the first Asian woman to become a three-star restaurant chef, and has expanded her food brand business. He is an extremely efficient person who hates waste, and sees cooking only as a “business”. Therefore, in exchange for the continued existence of “Grand Maison Tokyo,” Rinko is tasked with supervising the recipes and presentation, and the members of “Grand Maison Tokyo” are forced into a situation where they are unable to freely engage in cooking due to their contracts. Furthermore, Akashi plans to sign a new contract with Mayur Kyoto, but…
■Masataka Kubota (role of Toshihisa Yuasa) comment
I was honestly happy to be able to participate in the sequel to “Grand Maison Tokyo”.
Yuasa is a character who genuinely loves French cuisine and approaches cooking with honesty and sincerity. This time, Yuasa plays the role of Obana’s partner who is in charge of his back, and Mr. Kimura taught me the actions, gestures, and hand movements of a chef, which gave me hints for playing Yuasa, and it was exciting. did.
There are many important elements scattered throughout the film that will lead to the culmination of the movie, so please look forward to it.■Kazuki Kitamura (role of Sosuke Akashi) comment
It’s a popular drama, and I felt like I had received an offer from the Dodgers, so I was very happy (lol).
I thought it was an epic story with a very interesting script that had a clear beginning, development, development, and conclusion, and the human relationships surrounding cooking and the conflicting relationships centered around Obana were easy to understand and the story was interesting.
The Akashi I played this time has his own sense of justice, and I think it’s because he does his job that it makes sense that he has employees and has a contract with Grand Maison Tokyo. I think there are some young people in particular who think Akashi’s philosophy of emphasizing efficiency is just, so I was conscious of the justice of each person when filming. The director also watched the scene closely while creating the scene, so I think everyone was able to create a natural atmosphere in a very nice atmosphere.
When playing Akashi, I put in a lot of effort and added some quirks. It should be a pretty good spice, so please look forward to it!
